Pain tracking post
Got some prednisone (such fun stuff, yummy too) for the hip flare-up. Someone suggested that I should pay attention to the current areas of chronic pain (especially hands, but also spine and knees) to see how they react to hard-core anti-inflammatory.
Just (ish) took first dose, but baseline summary: spine and hands have been averaging 4, finger joints crackly esp left hand. Knees around 3 but worse under pressure (sitting upright w/ foot on footplate). Hip 7, does *not* like sitting upright (so I end up super slanted left or tilted back.
Will (hopefully remember to) update this entry over the next week. Temporarily stickying.
( Read more... ) -- Final update
Post prednisone summary: hip not in flare up but almost definitely new bone (outside of hip) and cranky therefor. Knees have gone back to crankiness, spine ditto
